Walk-ins are welcome
Fostering connections within the humanities, the USFDH program seeks to promote the exploration and use of digital humanities (DH) tools and formats. As part of their summer fellowship, undergraduate fellows learn about DH methods, including digital storytelling, information visualization, mapping, and text analysis. The summer culminates in the fellows producing a digital humanities project prototype focused on their interests. Topics range from local histories, community stories, and digital media culture to medical humanities, environmental humanities, and the intersections between the arts/creative works.
2024 USFDH fellows' research explored a wide range of topics and approaches:
- "Tracing Egg Foo Young within Books and Articles on Chinese American Cuisine” by Corinna Siu Mun Lee Chin
- “Life in the Fields: The Lives of Imperial Valley Farm Workers During the Emergence of the UFW” by Gisele Valdovinos
- “The Yost Theater Project: A Cultural Hub for Latinos in Orange County, California” by Sebastián Calderón
- “Transnational Perspectives: Filipino American Political Art, 1972-1986” by Ariana Vargas
- “Legacies of the 1969 Santa Barbara Oil Spill: A Catalyst for Environmental Consciousness” by Adilene Garcia Hernandez
- “Vision Through Films: Women's Internalization of a Surveyor Male under Men's Promise of Power” by Sissi Kang
- “Built on Hope: The Feminist Star Wars Project” by Lily Victoria Amidon
